Arab States The Israelis continue to prepare Israel for eventual formal annexation of the Old City of Jerusalem. In recent days they have been busily reopening former roads connecting the two parts of the city, and repainting traffic signs in the Jordanian sector to conform to those in the new city. Yesterday there was an announcement that Israeli cur- ? rency will now be the only legal tender in the old area. 2.

Soviet Union President Robles plans to call a special session of the National Assembly sometime between 20 July and 1 August. He expects the treaty rati- fication process to take about 20 days and anticipates no serious trouble. In fact Robles has just picked up some help from an unexpected quarter. Two top officials who mouth the ultra- nationalistic line now say the treaties are good. One of these men has some influence among university students and this should help counter the efforts of Communist-led extremists to stir up trouble. President Pak announced a few cab- inet changes yesterday--probably the minimum he believed necessary to quiet his critics and still maintain the cur- rent balance of power inside his gov- ernment. In sum, we see no change in Seoul's domestic and international policies as a result. There is good evidence that the number one Communist in the Moscow city party organization--a rather large wheel--was ousted this week because he criticized Soviet policy during the Middle East crisis. Shortly after, there came the announcement that the man had been removed; he had a reputation as a hard-liner. 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A005300040001-4 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A005300040001-4 Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A005300040001-4
